Dover, Ohio: Trees Carved into Pliers

Carved in Nov. 2020 by the grandson of Ernest "Mooney" Warther, who was known for his pliers-carving prowess. Three interconnected pliers form a seat, and visitors can sit in the middle for photos.

Address:
1028 Winkler Drive, Dover, OH
Directions:
Drive northeast of downtown on E. 7th St. until it ends. Jog right then left onto Stadium Drive/Winkler Drive. You'll pass a dead-end street on the left, the road bends right, and you'll see the tree ahead on the right. A residential neighborhood, but the tree is open to the public.
